VISION TURNS REALITY: WATCH GT VIDEOS

DESIGNED FOR EMOTION.

Avant-garde yet puristic. Reduced to its bare
essentials. No door handles, no exterior door mirrors,
no windshield wipers. The Opel GT Concept: a new
expression of pure driving passion.

CROSSING RED LINES.

The distinctive red elements showcase Opel’s pioneering spirit. Red front tires on roller skate rims. A red signature line that splits the vehicle body horizontally and proportions it. Ready for the ride of a lifetime.

BACK TO THE FUTURE.

The long bonnet, the absence of a tailgate, the central dual exhaust pipes and the name all refer to the original Experimental GT of 1965. Apart from that, the Opel GT Concept bears no sign of retro-design.

A TRUE SPORTS CAR.

INSIDE THE GT CONCEPT.

Electric doors open wide when you press the integrated touchpad on the roof. Inside, there are many more surprises, including a red seat for the driver and rear view monitors. More is coming up soon. All will be revealed at the 86th Geneva International Motor Show (March 3 to 13, 2016).

EXPERIMENTAL GT

Vision

The GT Experimental, revealed at the IAA in 1965, earned such success that 3 years later the concept turned reality. It was the first European concept car to move into serial production, setting industry benchmark before other European manufacturers followed Opel to develop and present their own concept cars.

EXPERIMENTAL GT

Technology

Opel was the first car manufacturer to demonstrate its innovative power with a concept car that had been entirely created in its own design facilities. "Besides having a fantastic look, the Opel sports car was primarily designed to impress with sophisticated aerodynamics," explains Erhard Schnell, GT designer at the time. Even the headlights were shrouded to reduce air resistance.

EXPERIMENTAL GT

Exterior

The exterior design style is often called the "Coke Bottle Shape", reflected in the design of the Corvettes of the time. Sleek front end with retractable headlamps, tapered flanks in the door area, bulging rear fenders flowing to the rear end with sharp separating edges and round rear lights were the GT Experimental´s key design highlights that made the car a design icon of its time.

EXPERIMENTAL GT

Interior

The cockpit was functional and unusually roomy with instruments set in an impressive looking dashboard featuring toggle switches and sport steering wheel. The parcel rack in the back of the cabin could be reached through the doors, the spare tyre and jack were placed behind it, under a fold-up panel.

OPEL GT2

Vision

The Opel GT2 amazed audiences on IAA 1975 with its futuristic wedge shape and sliding doors. It announced a new, rational concept car age of greater efficiency – in fuel consumption and aerodynamics. At the same time customers safety and comfort demands were growing. Opel´s convincing answer to these trends was the GT2.

OPEL GT2

Technology

The aerodynamically optimized design of the Opel GT2 guaranteed low consumption, best performance and comfort. Its drag coefficient was 0.326, as much as 16.6% better than the aerodynamically also brilliant Experimental GT.

OPEL GT

Exterior

The GT2 makes a very futuristic impression with its sleek wedge form and recessed headlights. The feature capturing most interest was the eye-catching sliding doors without visible rails. The opening mechanism was located in the rear view mirror housing.

OPEL GT2

Interior

The interior was also ahead of its time: ventilated seats and for the first time digital gauges instead of conventional instruments as well as an onboard computer. With the GT2 Opel Design foretold an automotive future which we experience today.
